LAND: How to prevent invasion of alien species onto urban hills and coastal heathland ecosystems: Sustaining biodiversity in cultural lands

The coastal heath ecosystem is classified as greatly endangered under the EU Habitats Directive. This is because of land-use changes resulting in a dramatic decrease in the utilisation of outfields for grazing. The threatened heathlands are invaded not on ly by native scrub and trees, but also by...
